A. IMMERSION BASKET FOR ACID POLISHING OF GLASS OBJECTS. B. IMMERSION BASKET CHARACTERIZED IN THAT IT CONSISTS OF AN EXTERIOR CONTAINER 1 WITHOUT BOTTOM IN WHICH THE FRONT AND REAR WALLS ARE OPENED, AND OF AN INTERIOR CONTAINER 3 OF WHICH THE FRONT AND REAR WALLS ARE ALSO OPENED AND WHICH INCLUDES A BOTTOM GRID 4 MADE OF ROUND BARS CONNECTED TOGETHER, THAT THE INTERIOR CONTAINER IS MADE TO TILT AND TURN INTO THE EXTERIOR CONTAINER, ON 5 SHAFTS PLACED IN THE SIDE WALLS OF THE EXTERIOR CONTAINER. C. THE INVENTION FINDS ITS APPLICATION IN THE FIELD OF ACID POLISHING.

Description

The immersion basket according to the invention is intended, in particular, for

  receiving glass objects, in connection with automatically operating acid polishing plants, where the polishing liquid can not flow completely when

  polishing bath due to raising their edges.

  When the immersion operation and the intro.

  Ducting objects are done by hand, we obtain the complete elimination of the polishing liquid by rocking specially or additionally the immersion basket. Also known in the art of acid polishing is a tumbler process in which glass objects are introduced into a rotating drum and passed through the acid bath in this manner. This process requires, with the costly and expensive installation of the drum, that one operates obligatorily with

  small lots and a limited assortment of items.

  The object of the invention is to make it possible to acid-polish specially molded glass objects, which may have, for example, a strongly raised edge, with very good quality, with polishing devices operating automatically, with a reasonable cost of installation, which would also ensure a lowering of the proportion of waste or loss that had to be accepted up to now

with these glass objects.

  The problem was in principle to make automatic the additional failover that had to be accomplished

  the engraver in the manual operation, by means of an installation

  in which we can polish without inconvenience

  glass objects with raised or specially molded edges.

  According to the invention, the immersion basket consists of an inner container and an outer container, these two containers being connected by a cross member, as well as by an adjustable lever system, together, and

  only with the carrying arms of the automatic polishing machine.

  During the tilting of the container, during the transfer into the washing bath or after completion of the polishing operation, the inner container can rotate approximately vertically with respect to the outer container, so that even with glass objects with raised edges, a total flow of the treating agent. The invention will be

  The outer immersion basket further comprises a traVerse consisting of carrying appendages 10, mounted on the side walls, as well as a shaft 11,. on which the bearing rollers are rotatable. Bearing rollers have the function of blocking the immersion basket

  relative to the carrying arms and fix its position.

  The connection between the container system and the carrying arms of the polishing machine is effected by means of the cross-member as well as carrying rollers mounted on it by means of bearing eyelets 12 and which are all

  the polishing machine or are welded on them.

  In the operating state, the bearing eyelets are closed at the top by means of latches 13 which can be pushed in the direction of the attachment of the support arms, these latches

  being immobilized by stops provided on the support arm.

  In order that the contents of the basket can not float up during the immersion operation, the parts are covered with a clamping grid which is tightened in turn by means of

  locks 16 against the side wall of the immersion basket. -
